New Balance & Dover Street Market’s Head-to-Toe Running Capsule Is Ready to Race

Summary

  • Okay, so New Balance and DSM just dropped a new line of performance gear, and I’m seriously hyped about the SC Elite V5. It’s this awesome purple shoe with a carbon fiber plate – that means it’s super springy and helps you push off faster. Plus, the midsole is made with this PEBA stuff which makes it really responsive, so you get a ton of energy return with every stride. Basically, it’s built for speed!

  • This new collection features incredibly lightweight running clothes and streamlined shoes, building on a successful collaboration with Dover Street Market to offer high-performance gear for serious runners.

I’m so excited – the New Balance and Dover Street Market collab is here! It’s a complete running collection, meaning they’ve got you covered with gear from head to toe for your next run. Seriously, everything you need!

The collection centers around the New Balance SC Elite V5, a light and fast running shoe with a carbon fiber plate and a highly responsive PEBA midsole. It also includes performance apparel like the Race Day Ultra Light T-shirt, a windbreaker, and split shorts, all in a deep purple color scheme.

New Balance designed the SC Elite V5 to be their fastest racing shoe yet. They removed the usual layers and extra weight to make it feel light and improve how it cuts through the air. The shoe’s breathable upper helps keep your feet cool during races, and the thin, 1.7mm outsole provides excellent grip on different types of surfaces.

New Balance and Dover Street Market have collaborated on special releases, particularly for the UK market, for several years. Recent projects have involved the 991v2 sneaker, with updates like all-black leather in 2025 and dual-toned soles for the 2024 London Marathon. Previously, in 2022, a limited edition of the New Balance 991, made in the UK, was sold exclusively at Dover Street Market. Their newest collaboration, the DSM SC Elite V5, builds on this design-focused approach, taking New Balance’s top-rated running shoe and giving it a sleek, minimalist look inspired by Comme des Garçons.

Shop the collection now exclusively at Dover Street Market.
